IMPROVEMENT IN PRINTERS GALLEY-RESTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 143,228, datedSeptember 30, 1873; application filed August 25, 1873.

' the type-boxes.

The object of our invention is to provide a means for holding the galleyin a more convenient position when correcting proof or the like, as wellas to avoid the necessity of frequent change in order to get at the typeunder it when it is laid on the cases, as it usually is. I

The device consists of the arm A and upright a, at right angles on theouter end. The inner end has a rounded head, with a pin, D, centrallybeneath it, and a conic lug, b, in the'angle of the arm and pin. Thereis also a brace, B, under the arm, diverging, say, at an angle of twentydegrees. This brace is also furnished with a head and pin,

E. A screw-thread is cut on. the end 6 of said,

pin for a nut, F. It is also provided with a conic lug, I). These pins DE are in a direct line vertically, each made to fit the perforatedbearing-lug I, Fig. 2, a pair of which are so placed apart as to receivethe combined arm and brace forming the bracket,-Fig. 1, and on whichthey turn and lock in various positions. The bearings I, Fig. 2, arecentrally enlarged. An anterior section of the circular head K iselevated, with a conic notch, N, into which the conic lugs b look, whenthe brackets are at right angles, by elevating the bracket, for whichpurpose the nut F allows sufficient play, and yet prevents the bracketfrom being lifted out altogether, unless it is desirable to do so byremoving the nut from the pintle or pin E of the brace B. Thus thecombined bracket or arm A, with its brace B, can be turned wholly toeither side and locked against the shoulders formed by the centralraised segment K. Their application being corrected and adjusted. Thusthe galley is directly before you, near at hand, without encumber-ingthe type-boxes in the case, and it afi'ords every facility tocorrectproof.

Much time is saved by the use of these brackets. When not required theycan be turned up flat against the case, so as to be perfectly out of theway.

These brackets are applicable at various points. Attached to theimposing-stone, they are especially convenient to the make-up.

A single pair of brackets may be changed from one rack to another bysimply having the bearings duplicated, to which they can readily betransferred.

We are not aware that any device substantially like this has ever beenknown or used, and We deem it highly useful; and the time saved willsoon compensate for the trifling cost expended, and a permanent benefitsecured.

What we claim is- The bracket, with its arm A, brace B, and pins D E,and conic lugs b, in combination with the perforated bearing K N, allsubstantially as and for the purpose specified.
